Love everything a out this little pub. Everyone is so welcoming, we have taken our puppy Isla twice, she has added if it can be a regular Friday thing, she loves the cuddles from the staff. The food is outstanding we had Fish and Chips the first visit then the tremendous pies yesterday. This is a total gem of a pub.

My favourite pub in the area, the Guinness is fantastic, we love the pie and mash and also the fish and chips! But the best part is the warm welcome from the staff who make a great pub an exceptional one!

Was in North Shields to catch a ferry, so popped in here to pass some time. Fantastic pub, staff are lovely and welcoming, also very enthusiastic when you ask them questions about the locally brewed beers on tap, which are also superb. My wife ordered a coffee which she enjoyed. One of the beer taps is an actual BRIT Award which was won by their local lad, Sam Fender. I'd imagine that's quite a pull for tourists. Sadly we weren't hungry at the time of our visit, so didn't get to try the food, but throughout the afternoon they had to start operating a waiting list for dining, so it must be good.

Great pub. Not very big inside but have some fantastic bands & singers on, and a great choice of draught beers. Also very popular. Great for a good night out.

Love this place. it has a large selection of home made pie. 🥧 Really close to the beach. Staff are so welcoming. Pets allowed too I recommend this place to all who love pie and a nice stroll along the beach 😎🥧.

Great place, very friendly and welcoming. We had the pies, chips, and peas, but it was the gravy thick with meat that added to the meal. Will be back!

Really old pub not far from the quayside. We originally stopped just for a drink but when we saw the food coming out we decided to eat too. Husband had the special, baked smoked cod with veg and chips which he said was delicious. I had scampi after a long debate with myself about the pies which looked fantastic. The chips were some of the best I’ve had, the portions were large and the food was overall excellent. Definitely worth stopping. Highly recommended

Went one lunchtime for drinks and a meal based on the good reviews. First problem, flat cloudy pint, told barrel just changed but people at the bar said that beer always being returned. Ordered food which arrived in reasonable time, tepid chips and cold peas and a very mediocre pie, not great for £15. Dog's on seats and being fed by customers. All in all a very poor experience, not recommended.

400 yr old traditional pub offering great homemade food (especially pies and burgers) but not a lot in the way of seating....many stools instead of chairs and small tables as it's not exactly part of a large modern chain. Friendly, attentive staff and quality food make up for these shortcomings, but my aching back may disagree for the rest of this evening !

Great little pub! Traditional and quirky with a great menu and selection of wines, gins, whisky... we just popped in for a pre-dinner G&T but will definitely be back to sample food. Apparently the Sunday roast is the best in the fish quay.. tbc! Great staff,friendly service.

An historic and traditional bar by the quayside, this is well worth a visit. Excellent cask ale, as well as keg and a huge array of other drinks. We sat outside in the sun as the world struggled by on the hill. Inside is a traditional low brown bar with a couple of rooms and space to sit and stretch. It's not expensive and the service is very swift and friendly. Nothing is too big much trouble. Lovely people. I didn't eat, but saw what others had and it looked delicious. I didn't hear any complaints from anyone about anything. Definitely happy to recommend this bar.

HIGHLEY DISSAPOINTED WILL NEVER RETURN!! TREATED LIKE AN ANIMAL First impressions were great! Got there and the lady behind the bar was so incredibly friendly, prompt service. It was very busy after the match but the staff dealth with this well. We got a table which was small for 3 people, and it felt quite tight. Ordered food and made clear I either wanted a kids meal for my dog or a larger meal to share with a dog with bowl or side plate, as I wouldn’t be able to eat this on my own. I was told to get the more expensive adult meal to share and told this would be more than enough for both of us. My meal came and no side plate dog bowl, I asked again and the male server said he would go get me one and then after some time saw him serving behind the bar with no intention to get me the plates or bowls. I went to the bar and asked the other male if my plate or bowl was coming for the dog where I was told THE CHEF has strict instructions you cannot feed the food inside under no circumstances, sorry I’m paying for to the dog and his food and I’m not allowed to feed him under no circumstances! I said I’m paying for my food and I nearly ordered him a kids meal, I made clear my intentions before I ordered, if I had been told this was not allowed I would of ordered a regular meal for myself. He said best I can do is give you a box you can leave ur table and feed ur dog outside. Hold on I’m a paying custermer but you’re going to send me out into the street in the rain to feed my dog …. YES!!! so I did I went out into the rain to feed my dog from a box, food that I would never of ordered if I knew this was the case. The lady behind the bar who had been loverly apologised and said I’m so sorry you did tell me ur intentions, I don’t know why the chef is doing this just feed the dog she could see I was really upset, but I felt so uncomfortable at this point like I was going to get into trouble, for feeding my dog food I paid for and made clear what my intentions were before I ordered. I filled his box with left over meat and veg as the meal was much to big for me and the male server then picked up the box and began to take it away like rubbish, I said that’s the dogs food you wouldn’t let me feed my dog? At this point the box was covered now with cream from the dessert and he said you want a new box then I said forget about it! We were treated terribly I felt so uncomfortable in there and didnt want to stay tbh. you can’t be dog friendly but then send peoole outside in the rain and then remove food people pay for. Supply no water or dog bowls? That’s the most un dog friendly place I’ve ever been to. Just ban dogs! But I guess you’re in competition with other pubs who actually are dog friendly so you pretend to be. The Sunday lunch was tasteless I’m not sure why the chefs so protective over his terrible meal and is definitely not worth £17.99 Such fond childhood memories from this bar when the fish quay festival was on all those years ago ….I’ll never be back. The lady behind the bar is loverly tho and could tell she was incredibly embarrassed about the whole situation! A chef telling a paying customer what they can and can’t do with their food is insane. My advice maybe make it policy to tell ppl before they order, have signs or have a convo with the custermer. Or just don’t be dog friendly!

Traditional pub with a great atmosphere in the heart of the fishquay. Pies are the showstoppers here. Steak and ale pie, chock-a-block with filling, Corned Beef pie is a classic done really well and probably the best we've ever had. Gravy rich and tasty and mushy peas are lush. Only criticism is that the battered cod was measly for the price. That was a let down. Whilst the Waterfront chippy at the bottom of the street can't compete on pies and pints, they do knock spots off the lowlights for fish. They do monster battered cod for less cost. I would go back to the Lowlights for pies and pints only.

As part of a birthday celebration as a family, we visited 31 at the Quay for a meal. On arrival the staff showed us to our table. The waitress was very attentive, polite, and friendly. The atmosphere was really welcoming, and the place was well laid out. We ordered drinks which were brought to the table quickly. Our grandchildren were with us, and the children's menu had a good selection of food for them. Personally, I found it hard to choose as there was so much choice and it was all lovely. I can only talk for myself when I say the mushroom soup tasted like I was eating fresh mushrooms, and the whole party said their starters were amazing. I chose the lamb as my main dish, and that was also very tasty. The vegetables were well cooked and very tasty. I was very full and unable to try any of the desserts on offer. At the end of the meal, the waitress presented a "happy birthday" dessert for the birthday boy. This was a nice touch. Throughout the evening, it was nice to watch the chefs preparing the food for service in front of us. The 3 chefs were busy throughout the evening as we're the waiting staff, but they made it look effortless. Well worth a visit.
